“…In addition, micromechanical model is used to classify heterogeneous materials like composite [23,24]. Generally, many parameters influence the micromechanical properties of the composite such as fibre and matrix properties, fibre and matrix loading, size of the composite, fibre and matrix sources, interfacial adhesion between the fibre and matrix and orientation of the composite [25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The most frequently used micromechanical models are rule of mixtures (ROM), rule of hybrid mixtures (ROHM), Halpin-Tsai equation and Tsai-Pagano equation.…”

Material selection has become a critical part of design for engineers, due to availability of diverse choice of materials that have similar properties and meet the product design specification. Implementation of statistical analysis alone makes it difficult to identify the ideal composition of the final composite. An integrated approach between statistical model and micromechanical model is desired. In this paper, resultant natural fibre and polymer matrix from previous study is used to estimate the mechanical properties such as density, Young's modulus and tensile strength. Four levels of fibre loading are used to compare the optimum natural fibre reinforced polymer composite (NFRPC). The result from this analytical approach revealed that kenaf/polystyrene (PS) with 40% fibre loading is the ideal composite in automotive component application. It was found that the ideal composite score is 1.156 g/cm 3 , 24.2 GPa and 413.4 MPa for density, Young's modulus and tensile strength, respectively. A suggestion to increase the properties on Young's modulus are also presented. This work proves that the statistical model is well incorporated with the analytical approach to choose the correct composite to use in automotive application.

“…The process must parallel with the environmental sustainability to give a benefit to the user. Therefore, in order to produce a green component with utilizing the natural source in automotive industry, customer demand and requirement are the important element that need to consider to meet the customer satisfaction of the product [24][25][26] In this study, the materials selection of NFCs tools in MCDM is reviewed. The review includes selection of criteria or alternatives, numerical measurement of the criteria and alternatives and determination of ranking to select the final solution are examined.…”

Materials selection in manufacturing process is an important stage and should be performed in parallel with selection of manufacturing process. In automotive industry, production of green automotive component could utilize the natural sources such as plant fibres. In recent years, several multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques are suggested to choose the best materials for particular application. Materials selection tools for natural fibre composites are studied from past researchers with the summary of the advantage and disadvantages. In addition, new optimization approach in materials selection by using statistical analysis such as multiple linear regression (MLR), response surface methodology (RSM) and Taguchi method (TM) is proposed in this study. The proposed method could evaluate the criteria or attribute in materials selection precisely by analyse the relationship of the parameters, goodness of fit, correlation, analysis of variance (ANOVA), determination of coefficient and the significant criteria in to the desired goal of the design problem.

“…While partly eco-friendly means that one of the constituents, either fibre or matrix, is not obtained from renewable resources [1]. The performance of the natural fibre composites depends directly on the fibres counting, length, shape, arrangement and also the interfacial adhesion with the matrix [4].…”

“…In the one-dimensional architecture, the twist angle and the level of alignment of continuous-filament yarns play a significant role in determining the maximum applied load. For this reason, unidirectional composites tend to be weaker in the transverse directions [4,5]. Given these attributes, for a known state of stress, these anisotropic structures can exhibit at least 3 to 4 times better mechanical properties than their isotropic counterparts [8].…”

“…In fact, automotive industry is gaining preference for lightweight products in order to improve fuel efficiency [11], such as non-structural automotive applications with natural fibres [12]. The performance of the natural fibre composites depends directly on the fibres counting, length, shape, arrangement and also the interfacial adhesion with the matrix [4].…”

Natural Fibre Composites and Their Applications: A Review

et al. 2018

There is significant work published in recent years about natural fibres polymeric composites. Most of the studies are about the characterization of natural fibres and their comparison with conventional composites regarding mechanical behaviour and application performance. There are dozens of types of natural fibres with different properties influencing their use, or not, in specific industrial applications. The natural origin of these materials causes, in general, a wide range of variations in properties depending mainly on the harvesting location and conditions, making it difficult to select the appropriate fibre for a specific application. In this paper, a comprehensive review about the properties of natural fibres used as composite materials reinforcement is presented, aiming to map where each type of fibre is positioned in several properties. Recent published work on emergent types of fibres is also reviewed. A bibliometric study regarding applications of natural fibres composites is presented. A prospective analysis about the future trends of natural fibres applications and the required developments to broaden their applications is also presented and discussed.
